Australian 50Km Men Stats AUSTRALIA’S SUB 4 HOUR 50KM WALKERS As part of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, I asked 5 questions each week for Heel & Toe readers to consider. Question 63 was the following: 63. Who was the first Australian to break 4 hours for the 50km walk. And as a related question, which Australian walker has broken 4 hours for the 50km on the most occasions? Let’s start with a look at the progression in the Australian 50km Record, from Jack Coffee’s inaugural record in 1930 right through to Nathan Deakes who set the current record (it was a World Record at the time!) in 2006. The table shows that it was Willi Sawall who, in 1979, recorded a time of 3:56:07 to become the first Australian under 4 hours. 4:59:40 Jack Coffey 1930 Alexander Cup 50km Sydney Sep 1930 1 4:55:36 Jack Cummins 1934 Alexander Cup 50km Melbourne Oct 1934 1 4:51:05 Leslie Hellyer 1955 Alexander Cup 50km Sydney Sep 1955 1 4:40:25 Ray Smith 1956 Australian 50km Championship Melbourne Sep 1956 2 4:24:24 Ted Allsopp 1956 Victorian 50km Championship Melbourne Sep 1956 1 4:23:38 Ted Allsopp 1957 Alexander Cup 50km Melbourne Sep 1957 1 4:22:41.8* Ted Allsopp 1958 Victorian 50km Championship Melbourne Aug 1958 1 4:20:23.8* Ted Allsopp 1959 VAWC 50km Track Walk Melbourne Aug 1959 1 4:22:37 Ted Allsopp 1959 Victorian 50km Championship Melbourne Sep 1959 1 4:17:07 Bob Gardiner 1964 Olympic 50km Walk Tokyo, JAP Oct 1964 5 4:14:17.0* Bob Gardiner 1968 VAWC Track 50km Championship Melbourne Aug 1968 1 4:12:20 Willi Sawall 1976 VAWC 50km Championship Melbourne Jul 1976 1 4:06:39.0* Willi Sawall 1976 VAWC 50km Track Race Melbourne Aug 1976 1 3:56:07 Willi Sawall 1979 Australian 50km Championship Melbourne May 1979 1 3:54:07 Willi Sawall 1979 Victorian 50km Championship Melbourne Jul 1979 1 3:51:08 Willi Sawall 1979 IAAF Racewalking World Cup Eschborn, GER Sep 1979 10 3:46:34 Willi Sawall 1980 50km Olympic Trial Adelaide Apr 1980 1 3:44:07 Simon Baker 1988 Olympic Games 50km Seoul, KOR Aug 1988 6 3:43:13 Simon Baker 1989 IAAF Racewalking World Cup Barcelone, ESP May 1989 1 3:43:50.0* Simon Baker 1989 Victorian 50km Track Championship Melbourne Sept 1989 1 Comm R 3:39:43 Nathan Deakes 2003 Australian 50km Championship Albert Park, Melb Dec 2003 1 3:35:47 Nathan Deakes 2006 Australian 50km Championship Geelong, VIC Dec 2006 1 World R * Track Since that first time in 1979, 17 further Australians have bettered 4 hours, taking the grand total to 18.

  • After 2 Olympic Cycles the Demise of the AIS Now Bites Hard
    AFTER 2 OLYMPIC CYCLES, THE DEMISE OF THE AIS NOW BITES HARD With Rhydian Cowley’s fine debut 50km last week in Melbourne (3:52:58), it is timely to consider which other Australian male walkers have also achieved a top 50km time on debut. Here’s how I think the list looks 1. Dion Russell 3:48:12 Melbourne 14/12/1997 22 2. Adam Rutter 3:52:49 Melbourne 16/12/2007 20 3. Nathan Deakes 3:52:53 Melbourne 12/12/1999 22 4. Rhydian Cowley 3:52:58 Melbourne 01/12/2019 28 5. Jared Tallent 3:55:08 Melbourne 02/12/2006 22 6. Liam Murphy 3:55:20 Melbourne 05/05/2002 22 One anomaly stands out in that list. All walkers except for Rhydian were aged 20-22. Rhydian was aged 28. Why is that? One 3 letter acronym explains it all – AIS. The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) included a T&F scholarship program from its inception in 1981 until early 2013 when the doors were finally locked. All the walkers in the above list, with the exception of Rhydian, were AIS scholarship holders at the time of their debut 50km. Rhydian has never had that foot up the ladder, but has had to map out his own course, with little or no financial support, and having to self fund his career via full time work. When the AIS walks program was shut down after the 2012 Olympics, we knew that the writing was on the wall for elite racewalking in Australia.

For Jared, it was another fantastic top-eight finish and it was in the lesser of his two Olympic events. With the Olympic 50km event this week, Jared upped the ante even further, taking his second successive Olympic 50km silver medal and recording a 2+ minute PB time of 3:36:53, also breaking the Olympic record into the bargain. What a performance! Walker of the Week! 50KM MEN'S RACEWALK, OLYMPIC GAMES, THE MALL, LONDON, SATURDAY 11 AUGUST 2012 The men's Olympic 50km walk started at 9AM at the Mall in London and I was one of the many spectators who lined the 2km loop to cheer on the contestants. My report on the Men's 50km Race Walk is taken from that of Dave Martin for the IAAF (see http://www.iaaf.org/Mini/OLY12/News/NewsDetail.aspx?id=67421) Sergey Kirdyapkin, the man to be beaten having won the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in Saransk in May, shattered the existing record of 3:37:09 with a decisive victory.

The big announcement came on Friday with Rhydian being added to the men's 20km team, along with Jared Tallent who will now do the double, and Tanya and Regan being added to the women's 20km team. The full Australian walks team now reads as follows 20km Men Dane Bird-Smith (QLD), Jared Tallent (SA), Rhydian Cowley (VIC) 20km Women Rachel Tallent (VIC), Regan Lamble (VIC), Tanya Holliday (SA) 50km Jared Tallent (SA), Chris Erickson (VIC), Brendon Reading (ACT) Dane, Rhydian, Rachel, Tanya and Brendon will make their Olympic debuts, Regan will be going to her second Olympics and Chris and Jared will front for their third Olympics. But today it's timely to zoom in on Rhydian, Tanya and Regan. • 24 year old Regan was outstanding on Olympic debut four years ago, placing 16 th in London with a huge PB of 1:30:03. But her world then fell apart with the ridiculous decision to terminate the AIS scholarship program.

Places will be allocated in order of entry. No exceptions for late entries. $10 per race entry. Walkers can only walk in ONE race. Multiple race entries are not possible. Race entries close at 10PM Wednesday evening. No entries will be allowed on the day. Mark Donahoo has asked me to let everyone know the following additional information. Can you please ask athletes to advise prior if they do not intend walking the complete distance, a simple chat to our time keepers is sufficient or let us know at checkin. This makes it easy for them to track as we aren’t using coloured ribbons, due to Covid protocols. Secretary Terry Swan also wants me to reiterate that “we can take credit and debit cards for check in and online, you don’t need a PAYPAL account.
